MR. FIELDI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether it is intended, in the new form of tender for meat contracts, to prevent the importation of frozen meat into a meat producing country like Ireland, if the native product can be had at or about a similar price?
§ MR. BRODRICKThe hon. Member was informed yesterday that the question of the supply of meat to the troops in Ireland is under the consideration of the Secretary of State, and the subject of purchasing from local instead of from outside sources forms of course an important part of the Inquiry.
